Most existing electric vehicle lighting control systems directly control the lights via switches, which can lead to increased wiring and a cumbersome control process. For lights that require switching, a more complex switch control system is needed, and the intricate internal wiring can cause difficulties during installation and maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing lighting control systems that rely on switches for direct control, which can lead to cumbersome wiring. It provides a fixed structure for a connector that allows for unified control of lighting fixtures through a central control module.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A fixing structure for a connector, comprising: Base; The control module is mounted on the base. The control module is placed inside the protective shell, and the protective shell is detachably connected to the base. The top cover is detachably connected to the base and is positioned above the protective shell. A wire harness block, which is installed inside the top cover and positioned above the protective shell.

[0005] The lighting control module is installed on a base, along with other structures. A control module is mounted on the base, receiving electrical signals from the control switch on the handle. After processing, the control module sends out a new electrical signal to control the lights. This unified control is achieved through the control module. A protective cover on the base protects the control module. A top cover on the base protects the entire structure and is detachable from the base for internal maintenance. Several wire harness blocks are installed inside the top cover to secure and organize the wires, ensuring the lighting control module remains tidy and preventing tangled wires from hindering maintenance. This achieves the goal of unified control of the lights through a central control module.

[0006] Preferably, the control module includes a control panel, connectors, and control plugs. The connectors are installed at the front of the control panel and electrically connected to it. Two control plugs are installed on either side of the control panel and electrically connected to it. The control panel is mounted on a base. The control panel is mounted on the base to ensure its stability. It processes electrical signals. Two connectors are installed on one side of the control panel and electrically connected to it. One connector is electrically connected to a handle via a wire to receive electrical signals from the handle. These signals are processed by the control panel, which is directly powered by a power source. The other connector is used to input control signals for outputting simple, non-convertible lights such as horns and small lights. Control plugs are installed on both sides of the control panel. After receiving electrical signals from the control panel, these plugs control turn signals and high / low beam lights that require conversion, allowing for better control of these lights. This design facilitates light control.

[0007] Preferably, the connector and control plug are equipped with limit frames, the base is equipped with several baffles, the baffles correspond one-to-one with the limit frames, the baffles are attached to one side of the limit frames, the protective shell is provided with several holes, the holes are corresponding to the connectors or control plugs, the side of the holes is provided with limit grooves, and the limit grooves are matched with the limit frames. During control panel installation, several baffles installed on the base align with the limiting frames on the connectors and control plugs. This alignment limits the control panel, connectors, and control plugs, ensuring easy installation. After installation, a protective shell is installed on the base to protect the control panel. An opening on the bottom of the protective shell covers the control panel, providing protection. The protective shell has several insertion holes that correspond to the connectors and control plugs, ensuring one end extends out of the protective shell for connection to external control wires. To prevent loosening of the connectors and control plugs, limiting grooves are created on the side walls of the insertion holes. The limiting frames on the connectors and control plugs correspond to these grooves, inserting into them to position the connectors and control plugs. This design effectively limits the control module's movement.

[0008] Preferably, a positioning frame is installed on one side of the base, and a positioning groove is provided in the positioning frame. A plug-in block is provided in the positioning groove. A fixing block is installed on one side of the positioning frame, and a fixing groove is provided on the other side of the protective shell. The fixing block mates with the fixing groove. A clamping block is installed on one side of the protective shell, and a clamping frame is installed on the base. The clamping frame and clamping block correspond to each other. The protective shell is detachably connected to the base through the matching of the clamping blocks. A wire harness block is installed in the positioning frame on the base to fix the wire harness after plugging in. Installing the wire harness block in the positioning groove of the positioning frame increases the number of wire harness components that can be fixed. During the installation of the protective shell, the fixing block on one side of the positioning frame clamps into the fixing groove of the protective shell, limiting one side of the protective shell. The other side of the positioning frame is limited by the cooperation of the clamping frame and the clamping block, completing the connection between the protective shell and the base. This design can connect the base and the protective shell.

Each placement frame corresponds to one of the wire harness blocks, and a hook is installed at the top of each placement frame. The hook fits against the bottom surface of the wire harness block, and the end of the hook that fits against the wire harness block has a triangular cross-sectional shape. When installing the top cover and connecting it to the base, the wire harness blocks are pressed one by one into the placement frames inside the top cover. The placement frames limit the wire harness blocks, and the wire harness blocks need to press against the hooks at the top of the placement frames to enter the placement frames. The hooks can restrict the lower wire harness blocks within the placement frames and prevent them from falling out. This design allows for the installation of wire harness blocks.

[0010] Preferably, the wire harness block includes a first plug-in block and a second plug-in block. The first plug-in block is placed in the placement frame of the upper cover via a first hook. One end of the second plug-in block is placed inside the first plug-in block. The first plug-in block is provided with a second hook. The second plug-in block is equipped with a clip frame. The other end of the second hook is connected to the first plug-in block. The other end of the second hook passes through the clip frame and is placed on the other side of the clip frame.

The wires at both ends are connected to the first and second connectors of the wire harness block, respectively. Then, one end of the second connector is inserted into the first connector. The first connector is fixed in the placement frame by the first hook. The second connector is then inserted into the first connector to connect the wires, thereby organizing the wires. When the second connector is inserted, the second hook on the first connector corresponds to the clip frame on the second connector. The triangular protrusion at one end of the second hook passes through the clip frame and fits against the clip frame, thereby fixing the second connector and ensuring its stability. This design allows for the connection of wires.

[0011] Preferably, the protective shell is provided with a guide frame, the inner side of the top cover is provided with an insertion rod, the lower end of the insertion rod is placed in the guide frame, the protective shell is provided with connecting blocks on both sides, the top cover is provided with connecting holes on both sides, the protective shell is detachably connected to the top cover by matching the connecting blocks with the connecting holes, and the top cover is provided with disassembly plates on both sides, one end of the disassembly plate is connected to the top cover and corresponds to the connecting hole. The protective shell is equipped with a guide frame. When connecting the top cover to the base, the insert rod on the inside of the top cover is inserted into the guide frame, guiding the top cover to descend. The top cover descends along the guide frame and fits against the base, covering the protective shell. During the descent of the top cover, the connecting block on the protective shell is inserted into the connecting hole of the top cover, fixing the top cover to the protective shell and completing the fixation of the top cover. A disassembly plate is installed on the top cover. One end of the disassembly plate is connected to the top cover and corresponds to the connecting hole. By pressing the other end of the disassembly plate, the connection point between the disassembly plate and the top cover, that is, the opening of the connecting hole on the top cover, can be bent to disengage the connecting block from the connecting hole, releasing the fixation of the top cover and thus removing the top cover. This design facilitates the installation and removal of the top cover.

[0012] Preferably, the top cover has several wire-passing holes on both sides, each corresponding to a placement frame. The top cover also has a wire inlet groove, one end of which connects to a wire-passing hole. With wire-passing holes on both sides of the top cover, when installing the wire harness block, the wires at both ends of the harness block pass through the inlet groove into the wire-passing hole, exit the top cover, and connect to the external structure after passing through the wire-passing hole. This design allows for the passage of wires.
